He meant to ask how he'll know which GPU his laptop is using, but frankly, I'm not sure how to monitor that.

there are two ways I can think of for checking which GPU is enabled but the methods are a little clumsy:


1) go to device manager and change the view to "Devices by Connection", select your display device and expand the branches.

2) goto display properties and select the "Settings" tab, this should bring up the active display device and GPU.


I'm surprised there isn't a notification agent in the notification area.
